Embodiments of the invention may provide a method for implementing an adaptive multimode media queue. A mode of operation may be determined for a received media stream based on a sampling rate of the media stream. The mode of operation may be a wideband mode and/or a narrowband mode. Depending on the determined mode, the adaptive multimode media queue may be partitioned into a low band media queue and a high band media queue. A wideband media stream split into a high band and a low band is buffered into the adaptive multimode media queue wherein the high band is stored in the high band media queue, and the low band is stored in the low band media queue. The high band media queue and low band media queue may be a contiguous memory block within the adaptive multimode media queue. The received media stream, which may have different sampled data rates may be buffered within the partitioned adaptive multimode media queue.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for implementing a queue, the method comprising: determining a mode of operation of a received media stream, wherein determining said mode of operation comprises determining a sampling rate of said received media stream; partitioning the queue into a first queue portion and a second queue portion depending on said determined mode of operation, wherein said first queue portion comprises a low band media queue and said second queue portion comprises a high band media queue; and buffering said received media stream in said first queue portion and said second queue portion, wherein said buffering buffers a low band stream within said low band media queue and a high band stream within said high band media queue, and wherein said partitioning further comprises preserving said low band media queue if said mode of operation changes.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said sampling rate is at least one of a first sampling rate and a second sampling rate.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein said first sampling rate is approximately 8 KHz.

12. The machine-readable storage according to claim 10 , wherein said second sampling rate is approximately 16 KHz.
13. The machine-readable storage according to claim 9 , wherein said first queue portion and said second queue portion are a contiguous memory block within the queue.
14. The machine-readable storage according to claim 9 , wherein said received media stream comprises digitally encoded audio.
15. The machine-readable storage according to claim 9 , wherein said mode of operation is one of at least a wideband mode and a narrowband mode.
16. The machine-readable storage according to claim 9 , wherein said received media stream comprises at least a low band stream and a high band stream.
17. A system for implementing a queue, the system comprising: a processor determining a mode of operation of a received media stream, wherein determining said mode of operation comprises determining a sampling rate of said received media stream; said processor partitioning the queue into a first queue portion and a second queue portion depending on said determined mode of operation, wherein said first queue portion comprises a low band media queue and wherein said second queue portion comprises a high band media queue; and buffering said received media stream in said first queue portion and said second queue portion, wherein said buffering further comprises buffering a low band stream within said low band media queue and a high band stream within said high band media queue, and wherein said partitioning further comprises preserving said low band media queue if said mode of operation changes.
18. The system according to claim 17 , wherein said sampling rate is at least one of a first sampling rate and a second sampling rate.
19. The system according to claim 18 , wherein said first sampling rate is approximately 8 KHz.
20. The system according to claim 18 , wherein said second sampling rate is approximately 16 KHz.
21. The system according to claim 17 , wherein said first queue portion and said second queue portion are a contiguous memory block within the queue.
22. The system according to claim 17 , wherein said received media stream comprises digitally encoded audio.
23. The system according to claim 17 , wherein said mode of operation is one of at least a wideband mode and a narrowband mode.
24. The system according to claim 17 , wherein said received media stream comprises at least a low band stream and a high band stream.
25. A system having machine-readable storage having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections for implementing a queue, the code sections executable by the system, causing the system to perform the operations comprising: determining a mode of operation of a received media stream, wherein determining said mode of operation comprises determining a sampling rate of said received media stream; partitioning the queue into a first queue portion and a second queue portion depending on said determined mode of operation, wherein the first queue portion comprises a low band media queue and wherein said second queue portion comprises a high band media queue; and buffering said received media stream in said first queue portion and said second queue portion, wherein said buffering further comprises buffering a low band stream within said low band media queue and a high band stream within said high band media queue, and wherein said partitioning further comprises preserving said low band media queue if said mode of operation changes.
